Second Opinion

What Second Opinion is

Second Opinion is a fact-checking nudge for the browser: highlight a passage, invoke Grok, and receive accuracy assessments, bias flags and alternative viewpoints.

What you can do with it

• Check suspicious claims quickly
• Compare viewpoints on contested topics
• Screen social media posts
• Interrogate news framing
• Build a verification habit

Who it is for

• News readers sceptical by default
• Researchers checking sources
• Social media heavy users

What to watch out for

• AI fact-checking is itself fallible; Grok has its own biases and errors, so this is a second opinion, not a verdict
• You supply your own Grok API key and pay those costs
• Highlighted content goes to the model provider; mind sensitive pages
• Overreliance on AI checks can itself become a bias
